THE NEW STREET RAILROAD.
The Line West of the City Exchange
Built to the Ogeechee Canal.

The Line West of the City Exchange
Built to the Ogeechee Canal.
1t is a source of congratulation to the
people of this city that the work on the new
street railroad, despite rumors to the CON
trary, has not been interfered with by the
older companies. The new line is completed
from the City Exchange to the canal, ex-
cepting the curve necessary to connect the
Bay street line with Indian street
The building of this road is public i'm
provement which will do for other parts of
the city what the older lines have done for
sections which they have traversed. Were
it not for the Abercorn, Whitaker, Haber-
sham and West Broad street railways, the
people would still be huddled together in the
older part of the city, living in rented
houses and paying the greater part of their
incomes to rapacious landlords. The
older street railways are deserving
of every favor that can be
consistently accorded to them, as they have
helped the people to better homes, and made
living more reasonable and comfortable,
and have added several hundred thousand
dollars to the taxable property of the city.
The new railroad with its six and half
miles of track circumvallating the city, will
do as much for its future growth, and will
advance the material interests of the people
as the Older companies have done. The com
pany is disposed to push the railroad to an
early completion. but there appears to be
some hesitation on the part of those in
charge for fear that there will be some legal
steps taken to interfere with them. If there
is any way in which the company can be
relieved of that drawback to the early COM
pletion of this important enterprise, it
ought to be done, and the work pushed
ahead

President Henry E. Shepherds Lee
tire.

We call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement this morning of the lee
ture of President Henry E. Shepherd, to-
night, to be given at the Hall of the Georgia
Historical Society.
DR.. Shepherd was originally from North
Carolina, and is now President of the Col
lege of Charleston. 1t is curious, but true,
that in this case, as in some others, South
ern men OF letters are much better known
at the North than at home. DIR. Shepherd,
by his lectures and books, has attained a
high and well recognized position among
the literateurs of this country, while many
Northern names of inferior merit are better
known to us. We are pleased to welcome
him among us, and congratulate the society
upon its success in furnishing to our people
the opportunity to hear him.

CENTRAL's FOUR PER CENT.
The Directors Declare the Semi
Annual Dividend.

Annual Dividend.
The Central railroad directors held their
last meeting before the annual election yes
terday and declared per cent. dividend
from the earnings of the past six months.
President Alexander read his annual report
showing the condition of the road, and the
dividend was authorized by a unanimous
vote. 1t will be payable on Dec. ~.
Seaton Grantland, Esq, Col A. j. White,
DR. n. B. Drewry and w. w Fits, repre-
senting the minority stockholders of the
Savannah, Griffin and North Alabama rail-
road were before the board in regard to the
foreclosure proceedings pending against the
road. The Central owns 5000, 900 of Savan-
nah, Griffin and North Alabama stock out
of total issue of sl,000,000. The road is
not an enterprise of the Central and
not being paying investment the Central
began foreclosure proceedings. The result
of the conference yesterday was an offer,
open until Feb. /, of 81 80 per share for the
minority stock of the Savannah, Griffin
and North Alabama The Central, it is
understood, is not willing to sell at that
figure, however. Gen. Alexander made
the offer in writing to Col
White. The delegation is unable to
say, however, whether it will be accepted.
If it is not the Central will push the fore
closure. The Central people say that the
road, which is only sixty miles In length,
can be built and equipped for 100000, and
its present indebtedness is nearly that
amount. The only relation which the Cen
trail has ever sustained to the road
is that of creditor. The conference lasted
nearly the entire forenoon, and the delega-
ton left last night for home.
Aside from the reading of the Presidents
report and the declaration of the dividend,
only routine business was transacted by the
board Col. u. b. Harold, of Americas,
was the only out of town director present.
The estimated net earnings for the Central
railroad system for October were 1882,
545 SO, which is an increase of SAL ,022 IS
over the earnings of October, 1886. The
gross earnings last October were 1865, 100 10,
against $S02020 10 a year ago. The ex-
penses were $22, or SO greater in October
this year than they were last
The estimated earnings for September and
October, compared with the same period in
1886, are as follows:
1886. 1887. INCREASE.

EXCHANGE


Since January /, 1886, a net add
ton Of IS subscribers has been added
to the catalogue Of the Richmond Tx
change, bringing the number up to $50
on this date.
Daring the past summer the subscri-
bers' call-bells then in use were re-
placed by new aud improved bells,
with the yieg Of eliminating the troubles
and complaints due to the imperftc
design and workmanship Of the old
bells. This change vas made at con
siderable expense, but the decrease il
call-bell troubles has been gratifying
to the management.
During the summer it was also found
that the central office Switchboard in
augurated the previous year vas rapid
ly becoming too cramped for tho needs
of The increased and continually in
crossing number Of subscribers, and
that the four operators which the
board would accommodate were a.
times inadequate to the demands OF the
service. A new 200 wire multiple
switchboard lone that will acconmo-
date l,200 subscribers, and allow Of
an indefinite increase in the number OF
operators) was contracted for and com
pleted at an expense Of some three or
four thousand dollars. This new mul
iiple board was fully inaugurated Mon
day, December 6, 1886, With a corp
of eight operators, just double the
number formerly employed.
While the new operators had been
subjected to two months previous in
struction, and all the operators, old
and rev, had been given two weeks
practice on the new board prior to its
regular Inauguration, the manager is
painfully aware that ths change has
unayoidably resulted in temporary
depreciation OF the character Of the
service. The manner Of using the new
board being so totally different from
the manipulation Of the old board, the
most experienced operators could not
avoid making frequent mistakes, while
the new and inexperienced operators
made many more. But the change was
necessary, and was accomplished with
as little interruption to or depreciation
of the service as possible. All the
operators are becoming daily moro ex
pert, and in a few weeks it is conf
IDENTIFY anticipated that the service will
have resumed its usual degree Of ex-
cellence.
An active canvass for new subscri
bers is contemplated carly in the new
year, which will doubtless add largely
to the list. The introduction Of the
new multiple switch board providing
for an increase to 200 subscribers.
A much larger net gain could doubt
less have been made 10 the list OF sub
soribers during the past year but for
The fact that the limited capacity Of
the old switch board forbade any spe-
cial sfort in thar direction.
Our citizens are delighted with Sal
walton Gil. They never had as good a
pain remedy.
